- Adults will enjoy guest speaker Mary Elizabeth Sperry, author of Making Room for God: Decluttering and the Spiritual Life, as she helps us explore the relationship between physical and spiritual clutter and offers practical tips for decluttering our lives.
- Pre-K and K-6 Children will enjoy an age-appropriate activity that will help them learn to make room for God.
- Teens will have an option to either volunteer to set up, serve, and clean-up the meal, or to participate in an activity that will help them clear what clutters their minds and hearts in order to make room for God. Note: Teens can sign up to volunteer on one date and participate at the other.
